Learn How to Prepare to Move With These 9 Simple Steps

by | Dec 27, 2019 | Features

Moving doesn’t have to be stressful, especially if you plan ahead. Instead of waiting until the last minute, get started about two months ahead. Begin by taking stock of your possessions. Weed out the things you don’t need or want any more by trashing, selling, or donating them. About a month before moving day is when you’ll want to make contact with a moving company and start getting your packing materials. Finally, with two weeks to spare, start transferring your utilities, packing your things, and giving your old home a thorough cleaning.

Key Takeaways:

  • A multi-step strategy is essential to a smooth and effortless moving experience.
  • Researching and planning tactics will allow the breaking down of the move into small, individual steps.
  • Detailing the mechanics and specifics of the moving actions and items will ensure important items are addressed.

“Stressed about your move? Don’t panic! These steps should help you get everything done by the time moving day rolls around.”
